Abstract: 3,4',5-Trimethoxystilbene was synthesized via Wittig-Horner reaction with different solvents. It belongs to triclinic system with crystal space group P1. Hydrogen bond interaction existed between different structure units in a crystal cell. There were two different conformations in the crystal structure unit. The results, obtained by quantum chemistry method with DFT/B3LYP/6-31G, 6-311G(5D, 7F) sets, show that the total energy of the two separated conformations was higher than that of the two conformations in one structure unit, ΔEBSSE=5.51 kJ/mol. Otherwise the optimization of all the molecular shows that when the crystal formed, the plan-structure of different conformations was twisted, which indicate that there was a π-π effect between the two conformations.
